BLOCK TOXIC EMOTES IN FORTNITE NOW

Apr 23, 2024 12:39 PM

Epic Games has introduced a new setting in Fortnite that allows players to block so-called "toxic emotes". These are gestures that can be perceived as taunting or confrontational, like Laugh It Up, Take the L, Whipcrack, and Make it Plantain. By enabling the "See Confrontational Emotes" option within the "Social Privacy" menu, any player using these emotes will be muted and their character will simply stand still for the duration of the emote. It's also mentioned that Fortnite has included Billie Eilish as a playable character in a separate piece of news. This new setting provides a way for players to customize their interactions with others, aiming for a more comfortable and respectful in-game environment.

It's available on multiple platforms including Android, iOS, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, Mac, and Nintendo Switch.
